A
recreational trail alongside Bobby Jones Golf Course is being
proposed. The trail, essentially a 10-foot-wide sidewalk, would run
along Northside Drive, connecting the Peachtree Battle and Collier Hills
neighborhoods.

The
Atlanta Bicycle Campaign is working to establish a bike lane
network linking neighborhoods and major activity centers in Buckhead. To
get involved, join the Buckhead BUG (Bicycle User Group). Contact Kevin

PEDS,
Pedestrians Educating Drivers on Safety, is a grass-roots group
dedicated to making Atlanta's streets and sidewalks safer and more
accessible. A recent Buckhead demonstration drew attention to the new
Galyan's store across from Phipps Plaza that offered no entrances from the
sidewalk, forcing walkers to go though the parking garage to gain entry.

Partnership for sidewalks: The
Buckhead Coalition has formed a partnership with the PATH Foundation under which the
coalition will pay 50 percent of the cost of building sidewalks in Buckhead. The goal is
to develop miles of new sidewalks to make the area more pedestrian friendly.

The Chastain
Park Amphitheatre was built in 1938. In 1945, it was named for Troy G.
Chastain, a Fulton County commissioner who led the development of
Atlanta's park system. The city of Atlanta took over ownership of the
amphitheater in 1952, and since 1973, the Atlanta
Symphony has been holding its popular summer concert series there.
It also is the venue for other shows from April to October. The
amphitheater is at 4469
Stella Dr., or
Powers Ferry Rd. at West Wieuca
Rd.,
telephone 404-233-2227.

Chastain Horse
Park, between West Wieuca and Powers Ferry roads near the Chastain
Park Amphitheater. After a $2 million rebuilding project on the site of
stables first built in 1939, the 13-acre equestrian center offers riding
lessons, boarding for horses, a clubhouse, banquet room and a therapeutic
riding program. The new stables also have second-story housing for on-site managers and 24-hour security. A clubhouse
named in memory of Rita Anne Rollins houses
offices, classrooms, a tack room, showers, a snack bar and a consignment shop.
The manager
is Amy Lance. Phone (404) 252-4244.

Block parks and parkways

Buckhead Triangle, Roswell Road at
Peachtree Road, .7 acre, created between 1973 and 1975 with a grant from Atlanta
philanthropist and Coca-Cola executive Robert W. Woodruff to give an aesthetic center to
the heart of Buckhead.

UNDER STUDY: Designers are examining the idea of extending Buckhead
Triangle Park eastward to include what is now Peachtree Road and shops in the
strip where the Buckhead Saloon and Great Frame Up now stand. Peachtree Road would bend
east around the expanded park or tunnel under it.

Haynes Manor Park and Memorial Park
Trail, between Sagamore Drive and Peachtree Battle Avenue across Northside Drive
from Ahavath Achim Synagogue. The 5.1-acre tract is being developed by the PATH Foundation
as a park and multi-use trail from the Haynes Manor neighborhood, past the Bobby Jones
Golf course, through Tanyard Creek Park, and ending at Georgia Tech.

Adopt-a-park program

Created in 1992 by the Atlanta Department of
Parks, Recreation and Cultural Affairs, the program encourages private citizens, civic
groups and businesses to support the city's green spaces. Park Pride Atlanta, a nonprofit
group, coordinates the program. For more information or to get involved, call (404)
